Chapter 014: Redemption

Nadine's face was solemn, he could understand what Sauron meant, but the current situation made it impossible for him to talk to Sauron at all, and the pride of the soldier made him insist on being silent to the end. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Angmar Witch King, and the underneath the cloak is pitch black. Nadine stared at him, her bronze sword and her brown eyes shining against each other.

"You're a shadow? What is your name? If you are from His Highness Israel, why have I never met you? ”

Before Nadine could stand up straight, the Witch King of Angmar's Furnace Sword stabbed at him.

Nadine stared at the Witch King of Angmar, but then he understood that the other man was acting in contempt for him.

Nadine raised his sword to block, but the contrast between the power of the eighth-level bronze and the power of the tenth-level bronze, it felt like a collision between teeth, whether it was attacking or intercepting, it made Nadine very uncomfortable. He gritted his teeth, knowing that he had to resist this mysterious creature, no matter how violently his heart beat with the aura of death he carried.

It is not at all true that you feel the smell of death at night, and it makes you feel cold.

The valet Behringer and the maid Angus bumped their teeth, and they wanted to curl up their bones. Their eyes wandered wildly with the Witch King's movements, each swing of the Witch King's sword in the Kiln lowered the temperature of the air in the stables, and over time the chill made them feel like they would freeze to death if they continued to do so.

The gap between Bronze Level 8 and Bronze Level 10 is not far-reaching, but the ability of the Ring Spirit to become invisible at any time after putting away the sword almost makes Nadine unable to parry.

Especially when he found out that the Witch King of Angmar seemed to be a shadow, stronger than a warrior, and agile as a swordsman, he knew that he had lost.

The Ringwraith, the Witch King of Angmar, suddenly came out of the darkness and stood in a place where Nadine's consciousness should not have appeared, a blood line was drawn on the back of Nadine's neck, and he was instantly frightened into a cold sweat, and he hurriedly retreated. "If this were a duel, you'd already killed me three times. I am no match for you, and I would like to salute you to thank your men for their mercy and willingness to ...... Admit defeat. ”

Is the other party a Shadow, a warrior, or a swordsman close to silver?

Nadine felt this frustration that he couldn't even fathom after his first encounter, and he put away his sword, solemnly greeted the Witch King of Angmar, and then cautiously distanced himself again. Even if the other party had stopped attacking, Nadine couldn't relax his inner vigilance, although the other party didn't kill him, but the cold killing intent lingered at all.

"The smell of human blood fascinates me......"

The hoarse voice of the Ringwraith Witch King Angmar replied with a non-reciprocal response, and he turned around, touched the ground on one knee, nodded to Sauron, and disappeared into the shadows. Showing mercy to a human is to the Ringwraiths the same feeling as a hooked fish struggling out of a fishing line.

But his relationship with Sauron is on a deeper and more subtle level, and going against Sauron's will will burn his soul and even bring him destruction. The Witch King of Angmar had already experienced this once and never wanted to try it again.

A Guardian? Men? Servant?

The mysterious shadow of his cloak, whose face he couldn't see clearly, showed the same humility he showed to a nine-year-old child to Sauron, as did his profession, and Nadine looked incredulous. Now, he finally understands that Zoro, a child who has been closely cared for by him for three years, is full of mysteries.

Even though there was silence around him, Nadine's heart was not at peace. But the stubbornness in his bones and the pride of the soldier made him still say bluntly, "You are right, you no longer need my care." ”

"Nadine." Zoro asked, "You're dutifully taking care of me for your own sake, right?" ”

Nadine looked a little surprised, "For myself? ”

"Yes."

"I'm going to take care of you for my own sake?"

"Yes. I don't mean you're selfish, but dutiful in taking care of me...... You're just trying to alleviate the guilt. On the day Israel had his right hand cut off, his guards, the brothers who were born and died with you, were all dead, and you were the only ones alive. As far as I know, you knew in advance what was going to happen that day, Vincent's man, Raoul the one-eyed dragon, he approached you in advance, right? If you had told Israel about it in advance, he would not have been framed, his right hand cut off, and he would not have been banished that day. ”

Nadine snorted, "I, Nadine, am loyal to His Royal Highness. Then he looked at Zoro with strange eyes, like he was looking at the eyes of a monster.

"I never doubted your loyalty, Nadine. Now that I have a surname, I dare to use 'Dande' to guarantee your personality. But as I wanted to say, you didn't tell Israel the truth that day, out of an attempt to protect him. Don't let yourself live in guilt, you don't owe Israel anything, and you don't owe me anything. ”

Nadine finally calmed down and looked at Zoro as he spoke. In a trance, Nadine felt as if he was not a child under 10 years old, but a tall, thin old man with a face full of wisdom and almost white hair. He knows everything well, but he never says it easily.

"Yes, for three years, I lived in guilt." Nadine seemed to agree easily, but the moisture from the corners of his eyes showed that it was not easy to admit it all.

Zoro sighed and walked over to Nadine, "The truth isn't always like that...... It's comfortable. It's good to say it, but it's also always uncomfortable. Nadine, it is more meaningful to prove yourself than to live in atonement. Maybe I'll need you in the future, but not in the name of Israel, but in the name of Zoro or the Evil Eye. ”

Nadine stared firmly into Sauron's eyes. Then he stopped and began to pack his things, and went to a remote place in search of the Sixth Legion, and he left peacefully. But as he was about to walk out of the door, Nadine looked back at Sauron for a moment, with a look of annoyance, and he was silent for a long time, until finally he got down on one knee and said goodbye with a military salute.

Zoro was surprisingly calm.

He knew that his words had stabbed Nadine like a sword, but at least he had redeemed him from now on.

Sauron will take Nadine's care for the past three years to heart, but will not allow him to go astray.

Nadine's growing negativity made Zoro feel not protected by him, but imprisoned, the warden of the prison, feverishly trying to ensure his isolation.

"Nadine, he's a good guy." Angus the Mart spoke his inner thoughts.

"It's a pity that his way is not something I can agree with." Sauron corrected.

"Your Highness, you should rest well, tomorrow at dawn we will have to assemble with the convoy and head to the green shade." Bellinger did everything he could to keep his tone respectful with Sauron every time, and what happened tonight changed his perception of Sauron.
